Ann Annie Eurorack modular synth performance interview

[@Hainbach]

Just going to sit on the stairs and go aaaaah. Lovely

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

hahahaha thats the best comment ive seen honda, well done you've outdone yourself

[@sonicartefacts]

@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER wait, HAINO is Honda for you? I should start calling him that.

[@loopop]

What an excellent discussion - thanks for making this

[@onceuponasynth]

Lovely performance. I love to hear about how others got started into music/synths.

[@joco9958]

Hey Ben your questions are always so intelligent and you have a very natural way of interviewing people. Your knowledge and experience sure show. Just wanted to mention that. Cheerio!

[@NICUofficial]

without Ann Annie and Lightbath, I doubt I ever get into modular. And without DivKid, I'd have no idea what I was doing in modular. Thanks to everyone involved in this extremely awesome interview :)

[@MoltenMusicTech]

what a beautiful and immensely helpful video - good job

[@girlinagale]

Just rewatched a dozen Annannie pieces and ended up here. A good morning.

[@brennanfowlerib]

Yes yes and yes Ann Annie is my favorite!

[@Sonic-Boom]

Brennan Fowler Mine too!

[@desertcrystals6632]

Ann Annie is singlehandedly responsible for me buying a red tolex modular case. Thanks a lot.

[@tomexistsonline]

This is *magic*. Those sounds are literally what I strive for!

[@RobinRimbaudScanner]

What a lovely relaxed and engaging conversation. I like the pace of it very much!

[@jdavis.fw303]

Thanks for introducing me to a great artist and youtube channel!

[@thepedalzone]

This was awesome! Thank you so much for this insightful and in-depth conversation. Big fan of both of you. Man, and I need to get into modular synthesis 😊❤️🙌

[@KimStennabbCaesar]

Be careful, it's like a black hole for your wallet, haha.

[@TH-gu4wj]

Oh man, and if you thought pedals were expensive! ;) I'm very cautiously getting inspired to get a case about the size of the one in this video. Luckily the DIY community for eurorack is vast. Hope you get some fun stuff!

[@peterhomfeldt7287]

Thank you Ben and Ann for this Video.A dream has become Reality.I was born in 1966 and grew up with the sounds of all the first commercially produced Synthesizers.I remember also that i was fascinated by radio transmissions here in germany which werde made by the experimental studio of the WDR here in cologne.These programs were very rare seeded. A modular was far beyond to be called affordable but now it is possible for everyone to enter this wonderful world. I appreciate also the work of the undervalued Radiophonic Workshop which despite of the lack of modular Synthesizers at that time already produced a lot of great stuff only with the use of tape machines,slicing tape and the slowdown or speedingup the machines(thank you Delia). The Synthesizer Community and especially the modular synthesizer community is extremely open and tolerant . It is an example how the focus on creativity with passion can pass any differences between peoples and cultures. Peter from the the Black Forest,Germany

[@arbautimusic]

I love Ann Annie music very inspiring, reminds me north Indian classical music.

[@stonedapesociety5628]

Rings and Clouds.. Awesome!

[@iqnill]

Wow, I must be getting old... Volca as a first synth...

[@jonaseggen2230]

So nice to hear people who know their stuff so well but still talking about it in such a comprehensible way that even I understand what is said.

[@Larry30102]

Great having an interview with one of the greats synth composers. Many thanks!

[@rdean150]

This was excellent. Very interesting conversation by two people who clearly knew what they were talking about! And regarding a comment near the end there, I just wanted to say that I play piano along with bizarre modular patches pretty often. Nowadays modular kind of feels like work that I have to put in, so getting back to the ol black & whites is a kind of escape / relaxation mechanism. So even if it doesn't seem to make sense to accompany a bizarre patch with a grand piano voice, I do it anyway cuz it feels good to me. I generally record everything I do in my studio, even (especially) these "start playing piano and suddenly it's an hour later and you've somehow recorded over a gig of continuous piano alongside a weird modular patch that became maddeningly repetitive about 30 minutes ago" jams, and I almost always seem to find at least a couple of sections of beauty and wonder when I listen to the results later.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Nice we finally see the man behind the modular. Superb to put a face to the mastery of eurorack.

[@RachelKCollierRKC]

Love it! Yessss boys ❤️

[@erichewes3288]

Ann Annie is one of my favourite modular artists, and showed the potential magic of dual rings. Thanks so much for this!

[@deladonics]

Yeah I wasn't even looking into modular when I first saw those videos, but once I did, the sound of Rings became the sound of modular in my mind.

[@badbenjy]

A very interesting interview and gorgeous music.

[@DivKid]

thanks Ben.

[@tuesdaynightmachines]

Finally had time to watch this! Awesome performance and interview!!! =)

[@conradclipper]

Coming to this late, but what a superb, lovely video.

[@DivKid]

thanks Conrad, I appreciate that. It's a pleasure to be able to capture people sharing their process. Nice when people dig back a bit on the channel too (there's LOADS of videos).

[@conradclipper]

@@DivKid It's a tremendous channel mon frere, love what you do. Thanks so much!!!

[@star.trails]

What lovely insight into the world of Ann Annie. Thanks for sharing this.

[@atkmodular904]

When i saw that Ann Annie was also going to be at TSR event This is exactly what i hoped you would do. Great Interveiw, Great Sounds. Nice one!

[@esc5487]

This is a fantastic video. Just saw him perform last night in Los Angeles. Amazing show by the way. But super helpful to hear him talk about his process and walk through everything.

[@jericho2x2]

Enchanting sounds. Ann Annie is a great artist. Thanks for this interview Ben.

[@BobCharlotte]

Really, really interesting conversation. Ann is such a great musical inspiration. Thanks a lot for this video.

[@Gruftgrabbler]

I think I was waiting a whole year for such an interview with Ann Annie. I‘m super happy right now - Thank you very much! 😃😃

[@LittleAmbientMachine]

Nice interview! Good to see the face behind the redish case 👍🏼

[@ednasdiscomachine6049]

You guys are amazing together in this. There's a passion you both share. My musical knowledge is limited, but I love how you both understand each others way of thinking.

[@amuletsmusic]

great video!

[@walterinpv8499]

Marvelous...and nice to see Ann Annie whole, discussing DivKid's questions...

[@aeropilot4419]

This was really great ... two of my favourite modularists in tandem, made my day, thank you both 🙂✨

[@MatthewKallen]

Excellent interview and such a great experience hearing how others achieve their sound. Thank you both for making it relatable.

[@BoothOfEternity]

😎 my thanks to Eli & Ben for this keeper video 👏👏 if only this amazing innovation was available in 5U 😉💰

[@baleinerenard7629]

Well, what else could we ask for? Great music, with 2 modular wizards! Great way to start the day.

[@InkyDaCaT]

So this was such an ispiring video with Ann Annie from all levels..to see who's behind the music, and his music is sooo beautiful..it is incouraging to see how he progressed, and the journey, and helps us non modual yet users feel like OK..slowly slowly is OK lol......so thank you Ann Annie!....I did wish ..or maybe you did and he didn't want to say how he came up with name? Because well lol...being a girl every one assume I'm a boy ..so it was great to be on the other end of err ..lol..oh btw can I borrow that sticker .."face for radio"😝😝😎

[@maztik8r]

two of my favorite modular personalities. I wish the interview portion and the music portion could have been twice as long

[@Probbie]

I love this artist's work. Great interview

[@strangerhertz5687]

Awesome jam, awesome guy, awesome interview(er). Just ALL awesome!

[@greatwhitedonkey]

Woooow, this is awesome. Thanks so much for making this!

[@brianrodman1033]

I can relate so much with the part about sweeping the filter on the Mother 32. The first time I did a filter sweep with the Moog MF-101 LP Filter I was HOOKED and in love. Got the Mother 32 shortly after, had it not been for the MF-101 I doubt I would have ever bought a synth.

[@monsirto]

Awesome to see a different musicality applied to modular.

[@thehiddenyogi8557]

That intro song is beautiful

[@sndrcve]

TSR has introduced me to a load of new content to watch. Really like your work Divkid. Also looking forward to exploring Eli's channel. All this modular looks dangerously expensive (and endless)!

[@SquarepulseMusic]

Super inspiring. So excited to see AA play SF in the not too distant future.

[@annannie]

see ya there!

[@trulyors]

Amazingly shot and great overall video here

dude! everything that kid said was exactly what i felt and still feel "acquiring pedals" i was a guitarist that wanted to play synth for like 16 years... and i didnt know it lol

Gorgeous sounds. Really inspiring from a relatively small rig.

You mention running it through hardware EQ, man I want an API 2500, a pair of distressor's and a Neve MBP really bad, some day I will have them.

Oh wow! Damn you for posting that right before I have to be at work! :D

[@ultrabillions2208]

I’m glad to know someone else never uses the cue on the rosie. Love the module but when I’m playing live I’m too focused/terrified/enthralled in the moment to look ahead

Great video.

[@skriptico]

giue! moooolto bello!

AA has been an inspiration in so many videos where he is invisible. Hearing his story with your mediation has added to that in a way I did not expect. Thanks to you both.
